Farmers Feeding Families RFP
We seek to identify community programs and services that increase access to food and combat food insecurity in Shelby County. Our goal is to ensure that individuals are able to live healthy lives free from hunger and its associated health issues and move more freely toward self-sufficiency with this barrier removed.
“As 40+ year supporters of MUW, proud members of the Tocqueville and Allen Societies, and founding members of the Million Dollar Roundtable, we are thrilled and honored to Co-Chair the 2022 MUW Annual Campaign. We are deeply committed to MUW because we believe in its mission to help enable our brothers and sisters across this community to become even more vibrant, resilient and self-sufficient. So much has changed within the United Way movement nationwide as we elevate to a revolutionary new impact model that strategically addresses the root causes of poverty and disenfranchisement; a model that leverages your investments in MUW more than ever before. We are personally dedicating this effort to our MUW civic mentor and national Alexis de Tocqueville award winner Alberta Allen, and we humbly ask for, and need, your help to make this year’s campaign a resounding success. Thank you for all you already do for MUW! Please join us again in 2022.”
“I agreed to serve as Vice-Chair of the ’22 MUW Campaign as I am passionate about playing a role toward the betterment of my community. As a Louisvillian, born and raised, I appreciate the work that Metro United Way does to provide critical resources to the many non-profit partners it supports. As a black man, seeing the statistics that MUW collected around the wealth and education gaps in Louisville further motivated me to do my part alongside Metro United Way to help close those gaps in our community. I understand that Metro United Way can only provide the value it provides with the support of engaged and committed volunteers from the community, so I rose to the challenge.”
“When I had the opportunity to get to know the real work of Metro United Way, and how its work impacts families, businesses and the community as a whole, it was an easy decision to give my time and treasure. MUW is positioned and resourced to help organizations do better, citizens to live healthier lives, and improve lives across our region. MUW helps us all do better.”
At Metro United Way we LIVE UNITED every day to address our communities’ biggest needs, but we can’t do it alone. Because change doesn’t happen alone. To live better, we must LIVE UNITED.
